Trucks Can Pose Serious Dangers to Other Drivers, Passengers, Pedestrians, Cyclists, and Motorcyclists

Drivers and passengers from smaller vehicles are significantly more likely to be killed or seriously injured in truck collisions. In 2014, over 5,000 people were injured in collisions involving large trucks in the State of New York. Of the 5,000+ injuries, large truck drivers make up 14.8% of those injured while drivers in smaller vehicles account for 53.6%. Passengers in smaller vehicles account for 26.3% of those injured.

The chart below shows number of driver deaths in large truck crashes from 2008 to 2014:

Tragically, in instances where a person such as a cyclist or pedestrian is unprotected, their likelihood of being killed or suffering life-altering catastrophic injuries is much greater. In the event of a large truck striking a pedestrian, the pedestrian has approximately a 1 in 10 chance of being killed in the collision, according to New York State Department of Motor Vehicles data from 2008 to 2014.

Whether your crash are caused by another party's negligent driving or failure to maintain the vehicle, roads, and other factors that contribute to your safety, our attorneys can help hold them responsible for your injuries.
